Anyone ever run across the article in (I think) MMFF where they took a NA mach and went e85.. they CLAIM to have gained like 30HP or the like.. It been awhile since I read it.. I read it online.. I'll look for the link,,
Because I live in Texas I do not have to worry about the Winter blend. I have yet to have any adverse effect on E70 vs. E85.

Yes, the MMFF article is what pushed me over the edge to give this a try. I am very happy I did so. If I recall correctly, in that article, they did not make any hardware changes, I did add a BAP for the WOT events.

(edit) I forgot to ask about how much timing he was able to add, next time I stop by I will have them pull up my records.
